lupenone/dichloromethane

The present work deals with the assessment of the in vitro and in vivo estrogenic effects of the triterpenoids (lupenone, lupeol, and stigmastenone) isolated from Millettia macrophylla extract. The in vitro estrogenicity was performed by a reporter gene assay and estrogen receptor-α (ERα) target

Propolis is rich in diverse bioactive compounds. Propolis samples were collected from three localities of Cameroon and used in the study. Column chromatography separation of propolis MeOH:DCM (50:50) extracts yielded a new isoflavonol, 2-hydroxy-8-prenylbiochanin A (1) alongside

The bioassay-guided fractionation of the dichloromethane extract of aerial parts of Plumbago zeylanica led to the isolation of beta-sitosterol, beta-sitosteryl-3beta-glucopyranoside, beta-sitosteryl-3beta-glucopyranoside-6'-O-palmitate (1), lupenone, lupeol acetate, plumbagin and trilinolein.

A new isocoumarin, 3-phenyl-8-hydroxy-6-methoxy-5-gamma,gamma-dimethylallyl-isocoumarin, named cajavilmina (1) and eight known compounds: a-amirenone (2), beta-amirenone (3), lupenone (4), 5-hydroxy-7-methoxydihydroflavone (5), longistilin C (6), 3-hydroxy-5-methoxystilbene (7), beta-sitosterol (8)

In a survey of plants from Ecuador with antiprotozoal activity, Cupania cinerea was found to show significant in vitro activity against the Plasmodium falciparum K1 strain and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense. Subsequently, activity-guided isolation of the n-hexane and dichloromethane extracts from

Four taraxastane triterpenes, 3 beta-acetoxy-6 beta-hydroxytaraxasta-20-ene, 6 beta-hydroxytaraxasta-20-en-3-one, 6 beta-hydroxytaraxasta-20-ene 3 beta-palmitate and 3 beta,6 beta-dihydroxytaraxasta-20-ene were isolated from the dichloromethane-methanol extract of Chuquiraga ulicina ssp. ulicina
